Transcript

It's new, it's amazing, it's Prowl, P-R-E-L-L, Puckton Gamble's new radiant cream shampoo in the handy tube. Prowl brings you the life of Riley. The shampoo that removes dandruff in as little as three minutes and leaves her a radially clean, radially lovely presents the life of Riley with William Benbix as Riley.

Chester A. Riley loves his fellow men except when they happen to love his daughter Babs. He regards all of Babs as ardent boyfriends with this figure except young son Vanderhopper who may actually despise us.

For further details let's go back the other evening. Riley's just come home. Gosh I'm hungry, Dumplin. How's about supper? Well soon dear, we have to wait for Simon Vanderhopper. Simon Vanderhopper, why do we have to wait for- Well, Simon's having dinner with his daddy. He's taking me out tonight.

I forbid it. I won't have that Simon take of my daughter to them cheap dance halls. But dance? I've seen what goes on in them dance halls. Wrestling to music. I like that. And they dance the nate the worst of it.

After the dance those kids hop into their parents' cocks and drive around like crazy, 60 miles an hour. First thing you notice is a smash up in the car is rigged. And if you think I'm going to let babes wreck our brand new car, Riley, we haven't got a car.

That's right, throw it up to me. Besides, we're not going to a dance. Simon's taking me to a meeting of the Da Vinci Art Club. I don't care, I don't want you going around with that sofa, Lofer.

Lofer? And he'll be famous someday. Simon's got great artistic talent. Yes, some artists. You know those billboards on the corner with the cute little babies on them? I caught Simon drawing mustaches on them. Oh, I don't believe it.
